Terpolymerizations in bulk/solution over the entire conversion range are investigated in detail via a general mathematical model and a comprehensive simulator/database package. The model and simulator are extensions to terpolymerizations (multicomponent polymerizations) of models described previously in Gao and Penlidis (cf. ref. 1, 2) ) for free‐radical homopolymerizations and copolymerizations in bulk/solution. Experimental data for terpolymerizations in bulk/solution over the full conversion range are very limited (if non‐existent) in the literature. Testing has been performed with the very challenging and commercially used system of butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate/vinyl acetate in bulk and toluene solution.
